Nothing, if DDDD-EEEE-FFFFGGGGHHHH is a full UUID. If we compare to swift, the account prefix is a UUID too. The account prefix could be fixed for a session or passed in to every request depending on how things are decided. For example: GET /servers/<account id>/<instance uuid> where account ID could be a domain, uuid, etc. Another way to pass the namespace is through part of the token: GET /servers/<instance uuid> Token: <token tied to a specific account> The latter is simpler but less flexible since it may not allow for operations on instances outside of the account the token was created for. I'm a bit out of the loop on those type of API decisions right now, so I'll stop there. :) -Eric _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
